I want to add a user under "Administration" > "User".
It says that the user can't be saved to the database due to a plugin "authentication_windows" which is not loaded.


Any Ideas where I can activate this plugin?

Hi,

I'm assuming you are trying to create an RDM user with AD authentication in a MySQL/MariaDB data source.

If this is the case, please note that MySQL/MariaDB is no longer supported. See blog

That being said, this error is due to a bad/missing configuration on the MySQL/MariaDB side. You will have more success searching their respective forums/KB sites.

Something like this: https://www.docs4dev.com/docs/en/mysql/5.7/reference/windows-pluggable-authentication.html

Best regards,

Hi, thanks for your helpful hints. Then we have to think about migrating to Azure SQL or Devolutions Server. Is a migration possible?

You have a few options.

  • Export/Import
    • depending on how much data you have this might not be the best choice.
  • MySQL -> SQL Server migration tool built into RDM (v2023.1).
    • This includes SQL Server on premises or SQL Azure.
    • Once you are on SQL Server, migrating to Devolutions Server is "simple" and the support team here can assist you.
